In einem Interview mit Wired hat Akira Yamaoka von Konami sich zur einer möglichen Umsetzung von Silent Hill für die Wii geäußert. Zwar räumte er der Konsole eine Menge Potential ein, doch wären die durchschnittlichen User der Konsole seiner Meinung nach keine Hardcore-Gamer, was eine Veröffentlichung von Silent Hill auf Wii nicht sinnvoll erscheinen lässt.
[quote=wired.com]WN: What is the future of the Silent Hill series?
AY: We're making Silent Hill 5 for next-gen consoles. Are there any other platforms besides that? [laughter]
WN: There's the Wii.
AY: Ah, the Wii. Wiiiiiiiiii... Silent Hill Wii. Can we do it? Will players like it?
WN: Yeah! There's a lot of potential there, using the remote as a flashlight, or a knife...
AY: Yeah, there's potential.
WN: But no plans.
AY: No plans. The Wii user isn't a hardcore user.
WN: What do you think of the WIi vs. PS3 right now -- do you think that PS3 will start doing better because of its users being more hardcore?
AY: Hmm. If Sony makes it easier for creators to create games for PS3, I think it will pick up. It depends on Sony's programming tools.[/quote]
